Super, Martyn! Did you know that Kitchener was adamant about Churchill NOT being deployed to Egypt, since he thought Winston was riding on daddy's coattails and was a complete boob? Well, Winston went anyway being detailing with the Lancers.

Hi Mike

Churchill had a very interesting early life, I have only just found out that he visited Cuba in 1895 to observe the Spanish fighting Cuban rebels. Have you seen "Young Winston" , some great action scenes with the Malakand Field Force and then in the Sudan at Omdurman. I picked up a few Boer War related Trophy sets including Kaffrarian Rifles - The Pipers, Kaffrarian Rifles Mounted Officers and a Kaffrarian Rifles Segeant standing, firing a pistol

Cheers

Martyn,
Wow! It never ends! Trophy had so many figures and periods I''ve never seen before, including these. Nice treat!
I will have to get that movie! I had just finished Khartoum The Ultimate Imperial Adventure and hopped right into Wilbur Smith's Triumph of the Sun, and one of the Ballantyne's is young Kitchener set in Khartoum before the fall of Gordon! Always a great read for me(no one else I know likes his bookes)

A favourite Wilbur Smith of mine is The Dark of the Sun, made into a great movie in 1965

Hello Martyn,

This is a fantastic find. Your luck is quite unbelievable.
